HISTORY
Elder Smith Goldsbrough Mort Limited was one of Australia’s major rural agency and wool-broking firms, created in 1962 by the merger of Elder Smith & Company Limited and Goldsbrough Mort & Company Limited. Headquartered in Adelaide, it became a major agribusiness, pastoral, real-estate, and stock agency group during the 1960s and 1970s. The company continued under this name until 1981, when it merged with Henry Jones (IXL) Limited, with the combined group later taking the name Elders IXL in early 1982. This 1973 certificate sits squarely in that standalone Elder Smith Goldsbrough Mort period.
